Request to add signal bridge

[seanfarley]

This is such a great project and has really helped me a lot; thanks so much!

I was hoping to get some help in adding a signal bridge to this ansible deploy: https://github.com/witchent/matrix-puppet-signal

I'm not adverse to trying my hand at this but some guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! Thanks for looking into getting Signal bridging working for us!

I guess the first step is to make a Docker image for this bridge, if one is not available already.

You can then copy/paste one of our other bridge roles (see the roles/ directory). Perhaps another mx-puppet-.. will be most similar to this and a good base.

The new role should be plugged into setup.yml as well.

In addition to the default role configuration (roles/.../defaults/main.yml), the Ansible playbook overrides some variables in group_vars/matrix_servers. Make sure to create a block for your new role there.

Ok, thanks for the info! I can't promise I'll be quick on this 😰 but I'll try to take a crack!

Hey there, same here: I like a signal bridge!

What I've done so far is using this Dockerfile, to create an Image: (clone repo cd into it and create Image) git clone https://github.com/icewind1991/matrix-puppet-signal-docker.git cd matrix-puppet-signal docker build -t matrix-signal-puppet . <- beware the dot at the end! Then create a config.json at the folder you're in with

{ "registrationPath": "signal-registration.yaml", "port": 8090, "bridge": { "homeserverUrl":"https://your.home.server", "domain": "your.home.server", "registration": "signal-registration.yaml" }, "sendReadReceipts": true, "sendTypingEvents": true, "phoneNumber": "+123456789" } Follow the instructions on the Icewind1991 Page but with your own image like this: docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/config.json:/conf/config.json -v $(pwd)/data:/data matrix-signal-puppet link Scan the QR code with signal on your phone to finish registration Run this to generate the content of yoursignal-registration.yaml docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/config.json:/conf/config.json matrix-signal-puppet registration "http://your.home.server" The last lines of this commands output (e.G. starting with: id:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) should be written to the signal-registration.yamlfile you have to create at the folder you're in.

Here I executed the steps from: https://paste.sr.ht/~e-v/e34a498ecce0fa2b7f7d6d16c7adb01cf072d014 mkdir /matrix/matrix-signal ln -s /path/to/signal-bridge/signal-registration.yaml \ /matrix/matrix-signal/signal-registration.yaml On the client (the computer you've downloaded the Ansible playbook to), add the following lines to the inventory/host_vars/[hostname]/vars.yml file:

matrix_synapse_container_additional_volumes:
  - src: /matrix/matrix-signal/signal-registration.yaml
    dst: /matrix-signal/signal-registration.yaml
    options: ro

matrix_synapse_app_service_config_files:
  - /matrix-signal/signal-registration.yaml

Then run the following command to start the container with the bridge: docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/config.json:/conf/config.json -v $(pwd)/signal-registration.yaml:/conf/signal-registration.yaml -v $(pwd)/data:/data --name matrix-signal-puppet matrix-signal-puppet To run the container continuously change the -itto -d

I'm able to receive messages but not always to send them right now, but maybe thats just on my server a Problem...

@gjelsas Thank you for the instructions, I followed them and I've been able to set it up, but now, how can I connect my client (element) to the puppet-bridge ?

@gjelsas Thank you for the instructions, I followed them and I've been able to set it up, but now, how can I connect my client (element) to the puppet-bridge ?

Adjust the '--network' and 'localhiost:8091' to your settings and the do docker run -it --rm -v /opt/matrix-puppet-signal/config.json:/conf/config.json -v /opt/matrix-puppet-signal/data:/data --network matrix matrix-signal-puppet link

and

docker run -it --rm -v /opt/matrix-puppet-signal/config.json:/conf/config.json -v /opt/matrix-puppet-signal/data:/data --network matrix matrix-signal-puppet registration "localhost:8091" did it for me... Before you start the bridge with '-d'

for further reading look here: https://github.com/icewind1991/matrix-puppet-signal-docker!

@gjelsas thanks for the reply. When I follow your indicated steps and I start the bridge with -d, I get a only a long and number & letter code as result, I assume the bridge is running.

After, I open a new room, invite the bot: /invite @signalbot:matrix.myserver.example but nothing happens.

[gjelsas]

But you did register your device with the QRCode? Then let someone text you, and it should show up in your client (maybe element). Starting a new signal chat is not supported yet, I guess...

Any progress on this recently?

Any progress on this recently?

There's a PR someone graciously made here: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/686

Just waiting on some design decisions it seems but I'm not sure.

[seanfarley]

Yay, closed in #686 !
